Going meatless on Mondays was something I thought I'd have to really work at, but actually find myself looking forward to. Planning for it. Whodda thunk? And, yay, multiple goals taken care of in one sitting - eating meatless and cooking at home!!! W00t!!
Last night's dinner was pizza (remember meatless, NOT vegan), and the BFF came over. My original intent was leftovers for lunch today or so, but was apparently so tasty that it all disappeared. I wonder where??

Small goals are the key to success or so I've been told. To kick off my weight loss journey I wanted to give myself a visual tool to see how my progress is going. For your viewing pleasure, the ticker for my first goal of losing 20 pounds:
